Shame because today, I was just too tired when I started my hunt to dig everything. Fear because when the water warms up and I hit the lakes again, that I won't be able to dig deep enough to get at a lot of the targets that the AT will hit!! I headed out to Buzzard Gulch this morning after getting a couple of Mexican brisket tacos slathered in some HOT salsa!! Even that didn't get me going, worked too many hours this week and was running on fumes!! The crew was waiting for me when I arrived!![attachment 193224 brobuzzspread2.jpg]
So, I rigged up the AT and headed down into the exposed lakebed and found all I could muster was digging high tones and a few mid tones I usually dig everything that gives a good solid hit in hopes of scratching up some gold, but it will have to wait till another day.
I stumbled and bumbled across the rocky lakebed and dug a lot of deep coins and a couple of nice silver rings!!
Here's the days loot!!

And the trash!! Note the lack of a lot of ringtabs...oh, the shame of it all!!

I got 3 rings, 2 silver and one junker. Here are the 2 keepers after a little polishing.

Still need to work on them a wee bit more with the dremel, but they are good enough for now. A lot of the coins were at 6-8" in an area I have covered several times before...that's my fear when I hit the water. Some had nails and wire in the hole and the AT snagged 'em anyway!! Every time I use the AT, it impresses me a little more. BTW, hunting in Pro mode, Zero disc, Sens 4 bars, Iron disc at 35, GB between 63 and 75.
